Law & Ethics - July 2007

Is it legal to, say, sign a cheque or any other such document, with your alias? For example, if you were an author who went by a pseudonym rather than your real name, would you be able to sign a legal document with that name?

If you are guilty of an offense, isn't it malpractice for an attorney to try to get you off instead of advising you to plead guilty?

like the prosecutor office, the public defense attorney office, the justice system or social security. why? because when there is wrondoing, it's society that is at risk and who is the victim is random.

Say you have been found guilty of killing Joe Schmoe, even though his body was never found. You are sentenced to Twenty years and you serve everyday of it.
Now you are free and you are walking down the street. You see Joe Schmoe. In a fit of uncontrolable rage you grab him and kill him.
Should and could you be tried again for killing him?

I'm against the death penalty - I was on the fence for a long time, not knowing which way to lean. But when I thought about it I came up with, what I think, are 3 good reasons "why not". They are:

1. If it turns out the guy was actually innocent - whoops, we killed the wrong guy, oh well!
2. I think that being in jail - NOT FUN - is a worse punishment than dying.
3. What was that that Ghandi said about "an eye for an eye"?!

Well that's what I think!
What do you guys think? And why?

I got this statement from my CIVICS class:

"if found not guilty of the offence, you cannot be tried for it again, and if found guilty and punished for the offence, you cannot be tried or punished for it again."

so it must b true, but it sounds kinda messed UP to me...becuz i'm thinking this:

So if i'm found innocent of not killing someone, i could go out and kill a person and won't worry about it, since i cannot be tried for it again...
and...
If found guilty of killing someone, and me going to jail and doing the time, once i get out, i could kill someone again with no worries, since i can't be tried or punished for it again...

I have a friend who is scheduled to take this written exam. The Laws and regulations cover licensing requirements and penalties for Physical Therapists, Physical Therapist Assistants, Occupational Therapists/Assistants, and Athletic Trainers.
She is unclear what she will be tested on. Does anyone know if she needs to concentrate on ALL these fields' requirements, or specifically the PTA's and general laws and regulations applying to them all. She doesn't want to waste her time "over-studying".

I just graduated High School and got my own place. I had this girlfriend who moved in with me. Things didn't work out, she moved out. A week later, I was sleeping and heard someone smashing things in my house. I thought someone broke in, but it was her (she had a key). I grabbed her and threw her outside, then put a chair up in the door. I went back to sleep, and the next thing you know, a cop had me in handcuffs (came in the back door). He asked if I touched her in any way, and I said yes (of course I did, I threw her out!)

I would like to know if there is anything I can do to get my "right to bear arms" back.

I already know that the cop didn't have a right to come into my house, because she didn't live there anymore, but need to do something and have plenty of money if that's what it takes.

I'm just wondering because I often get emails to sign something that will go all over the internet and around the world. After so many signatures they will send it in. Seems these can be easily forged so what good are they? I care about the causes but wonder if the email petitions are any help. Thanks!

My friend is 19 years old and her boyfriend is a 41 year old cop, whom she met at work. He obviously knows every trick to the game,so she is being controlled by him pretty much. Her dad is 40. She works in the justice system,is there a way I can report this to our city's HR and he can get reasigned or just stop his pursuit of what I think is just mind games,control and sex. She is 19 yes, but i still dont think this is correct because he allready has 3 kids and he could just be using her. Would I be a doing the right thing if I tried to end the relationship? Im also trying to figure his name to run a backgroung check for anything odd. We keep telling her that it's not correct but she doesnt listen, he's obviously got her under his spell of cheap crimminal psychology and knowledge gained by age and experience. What can i do to end it? or better yet should I end it?

Hi. Today we parked on a retail car park which said 2 hours allowed. When we got back to the car there was a ticket on it which had been put there 2 mins after we left. The warden was there and I asked her why and she said cause we left the retail park and its not allowed. On closer inspection the sign says that "2 hours allowed on site longer if shopping"

On opening the ticket the actual ticket does not state date and time the 'envelope does' It has obviously not transacribed through.

Is this ticket valid? It is also missing car colour and the last digit of the reg.

Any advise

Okay, here is the deal.

Person A Paid and has paperwork to prove he/she is the owner of a car, the insurance is under person B's Name.
(Only person B is listed in the insurance. Don't ask don't tell)

Person A & B are sour at each other and Person B threatened that if the car was taken for a drive he/she would call in the fuzz and report the car stolen. Can Person B realy do this? Can the owner of the carget busted for car theft if he/she takes the car for a drive on a car he/she owns?
